- D.

Correct Answer
C. ParlavaExplanation
The correct answer is "Parlava". This is because the phrase "Mia madre mi parlava sempre di te quando ero piccolo" translates to "My mother always talked to me about you when I was little." The verb "parlava" is in the singular form, matching the subject "mia madre" (my mother).Rate this question:

Indicate the CORRECT phrase Quando eravamo a Milano, ........ a visitare il Duomo
- A.
Abbiamo andati
- B.

D. Siamo andatiExplanation
The correct phrase is "Siamo andati". This is because the subject "noi" (we) is plural, so the verb "andare" (to go) should also be in the plural form. "Siamo" is the first person plural form of the verb "essere" (to be) and "andati" is the past participle of "andare". Therefore, "Siamo andati" correctly translates to "We went".Rate this question:

It is the first person singular form of the verb "lavare" (to wash) in the present tense. The word "sto" is the contraction of "io" (I) and "sto" (am). Therefore, the correct phrase means "I am washing the dishes now."Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. DicaExplanation
The correct phrase is "Dica". This is because the sentence is in the subjunctive mood, indicating that the action of telling the truth is a subjective opinion or desire. In Italian, the subjunctive form of the verb "dire" (to say/tell) in the third person singular is "dica". Therefore, the correct phrase is "è importante che tu dica la verità", meaning "it is important that you tell the truth".Rate this question:

Indicate the CORRECT phrase Se lei ..... , ci avrebbe aiutato
- A.
Ha potuto
- B.

The correct phrase to complete the sentence is "Avesse potuto". This is because the sentence is in the conditional tense, indicating a hypothetical situation. The verb "avrebbe" is the conditional form of "avere" (to have), and it is followed by the past participle "potuto" (able to). The subjunctive form "avessi potuto" is incorrect because it is the second person singular form, which does not match the subject "lei" (she).Rate this question:

- A.

Correct Answer
C. FaròExplanation
The correct answer is "Farò". The phrase "farò" is in the future tense, while the rest of the sentence is in the subjunctive mood.
